The hiker had gotten off the trail and attempted to climb down the rock face to reach the base of the waterfall, but fell around 50 to 80 feet onto the rocks below, a friend who was with the victim at the time told OregonLive. The Hood River Sheriff\u2019s Office confirmed it received a call about the incident at around 7:30 a.m. Saturday. Christopher Mills, a Portland hiker who was also at Punchbowl Falls around the time of the accident, said that he saw a bag around 6:30 a.m. on the slope below the trail near where the man died. \u201cIt just looked unusual, because why would a bag be down that far?\u201d Mills told OregonLive. \u201cI didn\u2019t see anybody, and it just caught my eye.\u201d The man\u2019s body was extracted from the area via a rope lift, officials told the <i>Statesman Journal<\/i>. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5131\">Musk\u2019s Rocket Crashes Into the Moon at 5,400 MPH<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read it at <span>People<\/span><\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 19-year-old hiker has died after falling from a cliff above Punchbowl Falls in the Columbia River Gorge.
